The Qashqadaryo , also Kashkadarja ( Uzbek Қашқадарё , Russian Кашкадарья ), is a river in Tajikistan and in southern Uzbekistan .

The Qashqadaryo rises in the western foothills of the Hissar Mountains and the Seraf Shank chain . It flows in a westerly direction, initially in Tajikistan. He passes the place Farob and crosses the border to Uzbekistan. Gradually the Qashqadaryo turns to the southwest. He passes the cities of Kitob and Chiroqchi and takes up the left tributaries Jinnidaryo , Oqsuv and Tanhozdaryo . The latter takes up the Tanxozdaryo on the right side 10 km above its mouth . In the middle reaches of the Qashqadaryo becomes Chimkurgan dammed -Stausee. In the lower reaches the Gʻuzordaryo , also from the left, meets the river. Finally it reaches the city of Qarshi and seeps into the Qarshi steppe .

The Qashqadaryo has a length of 378 km. Its catchment area covers about 8780 km². The river gets additional water from the north running Serafshan , the third largest river in Uzbekistan, via the Eskianhorn Canal .
